Saving turn 1 Air Directives and Re-importing

Post by Zovs »

It would be nice (especially for 1941 GC, and possible 1942, 1943 and 1944 GC games) if you could save a set of Air Directives settings (altitude, escort yes/no, bombing day/night, %to fly/escort, etc.) along with AD that have been pre setup (i.e. GA target hexes, staging bases, area, number of strikes, number of bombers(escorts) and priority settings).

Then when you start a new scenario/campaign, you could import the saved Air Directives settings and then tweak to your liking.

So in summation, I would like to start a 1941 CG game, set all the AD and AD Settings once and save them. Then when I load a new scenario or CG (even PBEM) I could import in these settings and then adjust them as I see fit.

I have a standard save that I do before I start a new game and call is pre-scenario. That way, whenever I start a game I reload this save and go from there.

That won't work for PBEM as the Axis, since the Soviet player sets up the scenario.

The pregame save is something I have done. Be aware, it may be affected by any patch update.

+1. This, and the high stakes/precision demanded from Axis turn 1 in general, is the main reason I have pretty much only played Soviets so far in any serious way. So it would be nice if you could just import to get started. I would rather have the option to just take a standard turn 1 start as Axis rather than have to spend the energy worrying about trying to min-max it to get as many planes/units/territory as possible. Although I guess then the same issues would arise for Soviet turn 1 :(

Would be great to not have to redo not only air directives, but more importantly, re-doing the SUs, which take a long, long time to get right.

+10 if it also including re-basing, changing AOG's and loadouts.

This is a feature that really needs to be added, especially in the context of PvP or the steady stream of patch updates.

All I want for Xmas is the ability to save my turn 1 air directives.
